Line possibilities

A little brass overlap ruler

A run of 3 in a five-square sample line can sit in three places. Slide the thread to compare them.

Placement 1 of 3

The middle square appears in all three line possibilities, so it stays highlighted. On a real board, crossing columns may rule some possibilities out.

Tap any actual row or column clue to inspect its runs and gaps against your marks.

How to play

Each number gives a run of filled squares, in order. Leave at least one empty square between separate runs. Column clues read from top to bottom; row clues read left to right. A zero means no filled squares.

Choose Fill, Mark empty or Erase, then tap the cloth. A filled square becomes a raised indigo stitch. A cross is an explicit empty note; undecided squares stay plain. Tap again with the same tool to clear a mark.

Correct filled runs complete the picture. You do not need to cross every remaining blank. Its actual stitches then rise into relief. Advance cloth feeds the next section through the same loom. The four section buttons revisit your work and keep its Undo history.

Keyboard: Tab to the cloth, use arrow keys, then Enter or Space for the selected tool. F fills the selected square; X marks it empty; Delete or Backspace erases it. Control or Command Z undoes. Reset asks first and affects only this section.

Finish all four pictures to raise the whole tapestry. Skip movement and reduced motion arrive directly, keeping every picture and consequence. Simple view uses the same states and controls with ordinary scrolling.

Progress saves only on this device when browser storage is available. Undo belongs to this open session. If saving is unavailable, keep this tab open. Play regular Nonograms.

Stuck?

Start with full lines and squares shared by every arrangement of a run. Use completed rows to narrow columns. The brass ruler above demonstrates overlap on a separate sample line.

A logical stitch checks the current cloth against its clues, within a short thinking budget. It can also explain a contradiction. Applying the offered mark is a separate action.

Enable JavaScript to operate the loom. The numbers describe ordered runs of filled squares, with an empty square between separate runs. Visit Nonograms.
